Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* in case you wondered: they're still protesting.

* I think that this kind of an article is going to be most common from now on: pieces about the general issues of censorship and protest with the Danish Cartoons being one of many items of concern. I'm happy that more and more writers seem to be criticizing the newspapers that refused to provide their readers with some way to access the Danish cartoons.

* if you remember the story about the Belgian pulpit from early 2006, you are my ideal reader and I'll do anything you'd like to ask of me. Basically, one of the items brought up in the press as an example of Muhammed iconography was not greeted with a "Oh, well, then we withdraw our complaint" response but a "we demand that thing be destroyed as well" response. Here's an update.
